Four Fluminense footballers will miss the upcoming match against Cerro Porteño in the Copa Libertadores due to an act of indiscipline. According to an official statement released by the Rio team, John Kennedy, Kaua Elias, Arthur, and Alexsander have been separated from the squad after an incident at the concentration following their victory against Vasco Da Gama in the Brasileirao.
The statement mentioned that the players were removed for acts of indiscipline during the concentration of the Vasco game and will also be absent in the upcoming match against Corinthians. The club did not disclose specific details about the incident that led to their punishment, but reports from Brazilian media suggest that the players organized a party with several women at the concentration, causing disturbances among hotel guests and other players.
While John Kennedy had played in the match against Vasco Da Gama, the other three players were on the bench. The situation escalated as other Flu players tried to intervene and stop the party, but the footballers in question did not heed the warnings.
Fluminense’s decision to discipline the players underscores the importance of professionalism and adherence to team rules. Their absence will surely be felt in the upcoming matches, but the club is prioritizing discipline and respect for the team’s standards.
